Performance of shallow tube well on groundwater irrigation in Tropical Lowland Rice Cultivation Area

Groundwater irrigation is one of the alternative methods to irrigate the paddy crops beside surface water. The use of shallow tube well for paddy irrigation is able to overcome water scarcity especially during dry season and off planting season in Malaysia. The performance of a shallow tube well was...
